Yan Xi ignored Shi Wen Wen and continued towards the room. Shi Wen Wen grabbed Yan Xi and pulled her down forcefully. Shi Wen Wen's mind suddenly became active.
Thinking of this as Fu Yan Ting's house, if Yan Xi got hurt, Fu Yan Ting would surely suspect her. It would be better if she got hurt, and then Fu Yan Ting could see Yan Xi's true colors.
With this thought, Shi Wen Wen's lips curved into a slight smile.
Yan Xi saw Shi Wen Wen's sudden, eerie smile. A bad premonition filled Yan Xi's heart. Before Yan Xi could react, Shi Wen Wen suddenly fell down the stairs.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Yan Ting walked out of his study and saw Shi Wen Wen lying on the floor, her expression full of pain.
Yan Xi stood stunned in the stairwell.
Fu Yan Ting walked over, and before he could ask what had happened.
Shi Wen Wen looked at Fu Yan Ting with a pained expression, her voice weak as she said, "Yan Ting, I'm in so much pain."
Hearing this, Fu Yan Ting could only instruct the family driver to take Shi Wen Wen to the hospital first.
Shi Wen Wen had done so much, all to get Fu Yan Ting's attention.
Yet, Fu Yan Ting had said to have the driver take her to the hospital?
She didn't want the driver; she wanted Fu Yan Ting.
If Fu Yan Ting wasn't by her side, what was the point of all her efforts?
Shi Wen Wen looked at Fu Yan Ting with a wronged expression.
Fu Yan Ting glanced coldly at Yan Xi and asked indifferently, "What exactly happened?"
"If you really want to know what happened, why don't you ask Miss Shi? I believe she'll tell you whatever answer you want to know."
"Yan Xi, I'm asking you what happened. What kind of attitude is that?"
"Whatever attitude you think I have, that's the attitude I have."
Yan Xi didn't want to explain to Fu Yan Ting. Explaining would be seen as an excuse, and Fu Yan Ting had never loved her, so why would he believe her?
After speaking, Yan Xi prepared to return to her room. Fu Yan Ting, however, grabbed Yan Xi's wrist and, ignoring her struggles, said indifferently, "You'll come to the hospital with me first."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting dragged Yan Xi towards the hospital, disregarding her objections.
Inside the hospital, the Shi family was all present.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting, the Shi family wanted to reprimand him but lacked the courage. In the end, they could only remain silent.
Fu Yan Ting swept his gaze over the Shi family members and asked indifferently, "How is Shi Wen Wen?"
"She's still undergoing examination. The doctor hasn't come out yet, so we don't know the results."
"Mr. Fu, our Wen Wen was perfectly fine at home. How did she get injured after coming to see you? What exactly happened?"
"I will give you an answer regarding this matter."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting stood there waiting for the doctor to emerge.
The Shi family members were genuinely afraid of Fu Yan Ting's methods. Although they had grievances in their hearts, they dared not show them in front of Fu Yan Ting.
Shi Kai Nan saw Yan Xi and walked up to her, saying softly, "Miss Yan, it's truly… been a long time."
Yan Xi frowned. She didn't have a good impression of Shi Kai Nan.
Over the years, Yan Xi had been in business and learned more about Shi Kai Nan's methods, which only worsened her impression of him.
Now that Shi Kai Nan was actively approaching Yan Xi to greet her, Yan Xi initially didn't want to engage. However, considering he was a businessman, there might be future opportunities for collaboration.
Out of courtesy, Yan Xi gave Shi Kai Nan a slight nod.
Fu Yan Ting hadn't expected that Yan Xi could still be flirting with men even at the hospital.
He narrowed his eyes. Shi Wen Wen had been injured, and they still hadn't investigated why.
Shi Kai Nan's proactive greeting to Yan Xi clearly indicated his ulterior motives.
Moreover, Fu Yan Ting had seen Shi Kai Nan's feelings for Shi Wen Wen.
Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, pulling Yan Xi into his embrace. Yan Xi instinctively tried to struggle, but the more she resisted, the tighter Fu Yan Ting held her.
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown, her eyes looking at Fu Yan Ting with icy coldness.
Fu Yan Ting, however, acted as if he hadn't received the look Yan Xi was giving him.
He continued to hold Yan Xi, and she couldn't resist.
Fu Yan Ting's gaze met Shi Kai Nan's, and he asked indifferently, "Mr. Shi, what are you discussing so happily with my wife?"
"Mr. Fu, as far as I know, you divorced five years ago. Xi Xi is no longer your wife. Aren't you afraid of causing misunderstandings by saying this?"
Fu Yan Ting felt a pang in his heart.
If he hadn't signed the divorce papers, he might have been able to retort. But now, his divorce with Yan Xi was public knowledge.
Fu Yan Ting wanted to show off, but he couldn't even claim Yan Xi as his wife.
"Even though we are divorced, she is still the mother of my child. Mr. Shi, next time you want to flirt with her, you should ask me and my son's opinion first."
Shi Kai Nan looked at Yan Xi in shock. He knew Yan Xi had divorced Fu Yan Ting five years ago, but he didn't know Yan Xi had a child with Fu Yan Ting.
Now, hearing Fu Yan Ting say this, Shi Kai Nan stared at Yan Xi in shock, waiting for her to give him an answer.
Yan Xi, however, ignored Shi Kai Nan.
Shi Kai Nan felt awkward and turned to leave.
However, Shi Kai Nan didn't give up. A question kept replaying in his mind: Yan Xi had a son with Fu Yan Ting.
No wonder they divorced, yet Fu Yan Ting was still so concerned about Yan Xi's affairs.
Soon, Shi Wen Wen was transferred to a general ward.
The doctor removed his mask. Shi Kai Nan anxiously stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my sister?"
Shi Kai Nan's eyes held a warning. The doctor, startled, replied, "Miss Shi's leg is fractured. She will need a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Also, she hit her head when she fell, causing a mild concussion. Other than that, she's fine."
After speaking, the doctor turned and left.
Although Fu Yan Ting didn't step forward, he heard the doctor's words clearly.
Hearing the doctor's report, Shi Kai Nan angrily walked up to Fu Yan Ting and questioned, "Fu Yan Ting, my sister was just looking for you. If you were unhappy, you could have told me, and I would have taken her home. Why did you do this to her?"
"I will give your Shi family an explanation for this matter." After speaking, Fu Yan Ting left the hospital with Yan Xi.
Yan Xi still couldn't accept this reality.
Shi Wen Wen was too ruthless. Just to make Fu Yan Ting misunderstand her and detest her, she had done something so self-harming that she would need a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
Five years ago, when Yan Xi was Mrs. Fu, she had known that Shi Wen Wen had a pathological love for Fu Yan Ting and would do anything, even defy all moral principles, for him.
Five years later, she had resorted to such self-mutilation to gain Fu Yan Ting's attention. What else would Shi Wen Wen not dare to do?
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting. Now that Shi Wen Wen was crippled, she wanted to know how Fu Yan Ting would resolve this.
Although Yan Xi didn't speak, Fu Yan Ting received the look she gave him. He said softly, "I will handle it."
Yan Xi didn't know how Fu Yan Ting would handle it. Was he going to make her fall and break her legs to apologize to Shi Wen Wen?
Upon returning home, Yan Xi went straight to her room. She was exhausted from Shi Wen Wen's drama today and needed to rest well.
Fu Yan Ting, however, had no intention of letting Yan Xi off the hook and followed her back to her room.
Yan Xi frowned and shot Fu Yan Ting a cold glance, saying indifferently, "Mr. Fu, I need to rest."
Mr. Fu?
Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes and appraised Yan Xi, clearly displeased with her form of address.
In the past, Yan Xi used to call him "husband."
Although Fu Yan Ting knew very well that Yan Xi had only called him that to appease him back then, "husband" sounded so much better than "Mr. Fu."
"Yan Xi, what exactly happened today? Shi Wen Wen is still lying in a hospital bed. Her legs are broken. Can you sleep?"
"She's the one with broken legs, not me. Why wouldn't I be able to sleep?"
Fu Yan Ting's brows furrowed slightly. He didn't mean it that way. He wanted to know what had happened today that caused Shi Wen Wen to fall down the stairs.
As long as Yan Xi said she didn't do it, Fu Yan Ting would believe her.
The Shi family had been suppressed by Fu Yan Ting for years and were no longer as powerful. Now that Shi Wen Wen was injured, the Shi family would surely seize this opportunity to hold Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi accountable.
Fu Yan Ting's promise to "handle it" was merely his intention to compensate the Shi family financially to ensure their continued existence.
After speaking, Yan Xi ignored Fu Yan Ting's feelings and lay on the bed with her back to him, closing her eyes and feigning sleep. However, so much had happened today that Yan Xi couldn't possibly sleep.
She just didn't want to face Fu Yan Ting and wanted to use this method to make him leave.
Seeing Yan Xi close her eyes and pretend to sleep, Fu Yan Ting also lay down next to her.
Yan Xi shot up from the bed instantly.
She glared at Fu Yan Ting and coldly demanded, "Fu Yan Ting, what are you doing?"
"Sleeping, of course. Can't you tell? Or are you implying something?"
"Get out."
Yan Xi, without any regard for consequences, started to fight and kick Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting skillfully dodged every blow.
No matter how much Yan Xi tried to drive him away, Fu Yan Ting shamelessly stayed with her, refusing to leave.
Yan Xi roared indignantly, "Fu Yan Ting, look clearly. I am not your Miss Shi. She is still lying in the hospital. Aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand?"
Hearing Yan Xi's words, Fu Yan Ting, unusually, showed a charming smile.
Yan Xi asked, confused, "Fu Yan Ting, what are you smiling about?"
"Yan Xi, are you jealous?"
Fu Yan Ting stared intently at Yan Xi, his heart suddenly beating faster. Fu Yan Ting had never felt so excited, never so eager for an answer.
If Yan Xi was jealous, would that mean she still had feelings for him?
If it were in the past, Yan Xi would have told Fu Yan Ting without hesitation that she was jealous and didn't like him being close to Shi Wen Wen.
But now, Yan Xi felt there was no point in telling Fu Yan Ting.
Admitting her jealousy would only lead to more humiliation from Fu Yan Ting.
In Fu Yan Ting's mind, she was that kind of promiscuous woman.
With this thought, Yan Xi took a deep breath, looked at Fu Yan Ting, and said indifferently and distantly, "You're overthinking it. It's your freedom who you are with. How could I be jealous? Fu Yan Ting, don't forget, if you hadn't threatened me with my son, I wouldn't have come home with you at all."
Originally, Fu Yan Ting had been eagerly awaiting Yan Xi's answer. However, when he heard Yan Xi say that, his eyes gradually dimmed.
Yes, how could Yan Xi care about him? How could she be jealous if he was close to other women?
Fu Yan Ting's tense, excited heart gradually grew cold. His gaze towards Yan Xi also became a little colder.
Fu Yan Ting said icily, "Yan Xi, remember what you just said."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting got up and left Yan Xi's room.
After Fu Yan Ting left, Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair, and a crystal tear traced a path down her cheek.
It didn't have to be like this between her and Fu Yan Ting. When did their distance begin to grow so wide?
How did they end up in this situation?
For the next few days, Fu Yan Ting didn't return to the villa, and his personal life was colorful.
Every day, he dated young models and female celebrities, and Fu Yan Ting ostentatiously gifted them presents.
Seeing the gossip headlines about Fu Yan Ting's scandalous affairs, Yan Xi offered a bitter smile.
